Sage sow on the windowsill and in the bed - that's how it works
It is a matter of honor for the ambitious hobby gardener to sow his own herbs. Thanks to the robust constitution of sage seeds, the project succeeds both on the windowsill and directly in the bed. Here we explain what matters.
Sowing behind glass - this is how sage vitality begins in herbal life
When the days get longer at the end of March, there is a lot of activity on the window sills. Now the light conditions invite for sowing, so that sage in May with a vital growth advantage in the season starts. So easy to sow the seeds:
In the partially shaded, warm window seat, the first seed leaves break out of the seeds within 7 to 21 days. The transparent hood has then fulfilled its task and falls away. During this time until planting in mid-May, keep the substrate slightly damp and ventilate the cover daily.
This is how direct sowing succeeds
When temperatures rise at the beginning of May, experienced hobby gardeners sow the most fresh sage seeds in the bed. Ideally, the chosen location is sun-drenched, warm and protected. In order for the plants to happily take root, they prefer a nutritious, humic and loamy-sandy soil. Follow these steps:
After the seedbed has been gently rained, a garden fleece serves as protection against cold nights and pecking birds. One week after sowing, care work should begin, consisting of regular watering and weeding.
Tips & Tricks
In the house preferred ointment plants should not be confronted immediately with the blazing sunshine. The same applies to ready-bought seedlings. Give your pet a few days in semi-shade for acclimatization before planting it in its final location.
